A Manassas woman and her boyfriend were arrested for allegedly giving illegal drugs to the woman’s young daughter over several years.

Kristina Leigh Moore and Franklin Lewis were taken into custody Thursday after authorities executed a search warrant at their home for child abuse and neglect. Officers seized marijuana, smoking devices and crack pipes from the home.

Moore, 51, and Johnson, 50, had been giving Moore’s 15-year-old daughter marijuana since the girl was 10, according to police.

The couple is charged with distribution of drugs to a person under 18, possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana.
